UNC vs Virginia: Three Things to Watch

Posted Feb 14, 2020
There’s no way around it: this UNC team has one of the lowest assist rates we’ve seen for a Roy Williams team. Part of it is a lack of team chemistry/trust in each other, part of it is lacking wing play in a system that requires good entry passes from the wings for its halfcourt offense to work, and part of it is just not being able to make catch-and-shoot jumpers.
